How to level skills

The source confirms that personal skills sit under broader knowledge groups and that improving a knowledge group affects learning of its related personal skills. It does not document every optimal interaction or current cap.

To verify a leveling action, record showskills, perform one clearly named activity, and run showskills again. Keep the result tied to the game version and selected Para instead of generalizing from one test.

Skill cheat commands

Use showskills to inspect the selected Para, levelupskill [SkillID] to add one level, and setskilllevel [SkillID] [value] to set a specific level. See the cheats list before editing a main save.
